All thru running will do if reflect delays from one railroad onto another to serve a tiny market. That is the last thing we need at rush hour. It also does nothing about capacity on the Main Line of either the LIRR or NJT. Each set of River tunnels run capacity at 3 trains per hour now. That is a function of signal system and train performance, nothing to do with station slots.You are also trying to merge the operations of a LIRR which has an operating plan with track assignments at NYPS, with an NJT that has nothing at all. For anyone travelling thru, they will start off on their train, and when they get to NYPS, take the next available train out. They are not going to wait for the thru train, and chances are, there isn't any from where they are coming from. There are 10 LIRR branches and 7 NJT lines, making 70 permutations. The odds of satisfying anyone's thru trip is near zero. You also can't terminate trains at Newark Penn or Newark Broad, especially rush hour. NJT has gotten 2 rounds of service cuts since Christie left office due to engineer shortages, on top of the permanent Christie service cuts in 2010. Without the pandemic, NJT trains are unreliable, often canclled, and over-crowded. NJ has other priorities than trying to get people to Jamaica to non-existent office buildings or to a JFK airport when there are other airports in Newark and Jackson Hts. |
